Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a notification system. In accordance with one aspect, the notification system, includes a housing configured to receive one or more content, wherein the housing includes a door; a sensing device to produce a sensed signal; a detection device coupled to the sensing device, the detection device configured to detect a transition state of the sensed signal wherein the transition state is based on receipt of the one or more content; and a tampering sensor configured to detect tampering of the housing.
Claims4
A container comprising:
- a housing configured to receive one or more content, wherein the housing includes a door;
- a light sensor configured to receive an energy directly from an energy emitter and to produce a sensed signal from the energy;
- a detection device coupled to the light sensor, the detection device
- configured to detect a transition state of the sensed signal wherein the transition state is based on receipt of the one or more content received by the housing;
- a tampering sensor configured to detect a tampering of the housing;
- and
- a processor coupled to the tampering sensor, the processor configured to activate a second lock mechanism in the event the tampering is detected;
- wherein the tampering sensor is coupled to the door;
- wherein the door includes a first lock mechanism, and wherein the tampering sensor is electronically coupled to the first lock mechanism;
- and
- wherein the tampering sensor is configured to detect if the first lock mechanism is being tampered with.
